Tuesday’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that shock waves were felt as far as away as Kentucky and North Carolina.

Maj. Jimmy Williamson, assistant University Police chief, said he was not aware of any calls from University students concerning damage from the earthquake.

“It was nothing out of the ordinary,” he said. “I didn’t receive any reports of any calls for service.”

Williamson, however, said he felt the earthquake when it hit.

Robert Hawman, an associate professor of geology at the University, said Monday’s earthquake occurred in the plate known as the Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone that runs from the area near northwest Georgia to around Knoxville, Tenn.

“There are usually anywhere from 30 to 50 earth quakes a year in this zone,” Hawman said. “But a lot of them are not big enough for people to feel.”

Hawman added that the earthquake was the largest in Georgia since the 1973 Maryville earthquake.

“Out in California, people would not notice an earthquake like this one,” he said.

The Georgia Department of Transportation reported no damage was caused to roads or bridges from the earthquake.

The quake was the second in Georgia in the last two months. On March 15, a 3.5 earthquake hit in parts Greene and Oglethorpe Counties.

Hawman said the exact cause of earthquakes in Georgia remains a mystery. While most earthquakes occur on or near plate boundaries, the closest plate boundary to Georgia is the mid-ocean ridge in the Atlantic Ocean.

John Martin, a student from Lilburn, said he didn’t feel the earthquake and had no knowledge of it until the middle of Tuesday afternoon.

“I was kind of surprised to hear that something like that happened here,” he said. “That’s something you think about happening somewhere like San Francisco.”

Hawman said while earthquakes cannot be predicted, the probability of earthquakes of a large magnitude striking can be predicted.

Reality, Earthquake damage is possible and Georgia has faultline that make damage even more possible. Earthquake coverage provides for more than just damage due to a Earthquake. Coverage in some cases is extended to local explosions causing the earth to tremble with resulting damage to structures. Mud slides is another peril that earthquake coverage provides additional coverage.

Ga Earthquake Insurance provides coverage as a stand-alone policy and does not require underlying property coverage. A single policy can be written to insure Earthquake and related losses.

Solutions are also available as a combination policy with home coverage for the structure and earthquake damage.

Earthquakes may be Felt in any area of Georgia. No area in Georgia is immune from the earthquake threat, but northern Georgia has experienced the most earthquakes in recent history. Earthquakes large enough to cause damage could be felt in most if not all of Georgia’s Counties. When a damaging earthquake occurs, it will affect an area covering many surrounding counties.

North Georgia, Columbus Georgia, and the fault line right through North fulton and Forsyth county had my immediate attention.
Having coverage for Earthquake insurance may seem to be a waste of money, but if you consider the risk and the loss with out the coverage and the fault lines running through Georgia…. Reconsidering the need may need to be re-thought.
